We finally came here after our Mids kept talking about it. And it's...eh

Very dark decor inside with K-pop music blaring in the background which apparently gets progressively louder as it gets later. Lighting is minimal inside so those with vision difficulties may need a guiding hand.

Seating is plentiful inside and all tables and booths have a gas grill. The waiter is fast and hurried so you better know what you want. He welcomed us when we said it was our first time, but still ran through the instructions quickly. Luckily it's not our first KBBQ rodeo so we kinda knew the gist. There's a QR code posted in the seating area where you pull up the menu. Some phone cameras may have difficulty reading it due to the low light level.

Once you order your food and drinks, the waiter will bounce from table to table to prepare the food. Our grill went out at one point and just as I was about to re-light it, the waiter appeared and took over. This occurred any time one of us picked up the tongs to turn the meat too.

Menu is straightforward with the selections of meats and sides. Our kids liked the food, but we weren't as impressed. For instance, the beef bulgogi was doused in marinade yet there was little flavor. Much like the food at a teppanyaki place...quick marinade on the food means little flavor.

Honestly, we liked Honey Pig and Shin Chon better than Iron Age. Their food just tasted better. Even though K-pop blares at Honey Pig too, the decor is a lot brighter and more airy. And for what we paid at Iron Age, we can get a better tasting meal with all of the sides too.

I don't know why the Mids say this place is cheap because it's not. For our party of 5, 3 beers, a soju, a Coke, a kimchi side order and the rice and meats, with tax and their added gratuity, came to $238.

We'll come back only if we're visiting our son and this is where he wants to eat. We won't be making a special trip here ourselves.
